Statement Of Faith

•          We believe that all of the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God. They are accurate, authoritative and fully inspired by the            Holy Spirit in the original manuscripts and are the final authority in matters of faith and practice.
•          We believe in one true and eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is                  perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love.
•          We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
•          We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, as both God and man, is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life,                  died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.
•          We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His                will for our lives.
•          We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptised in water and be filled with the power of                the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues, which is the initial evidence of baptism in the Holy                Spirit.
•          We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfill our              role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.
•          We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and prosperous lives in order to help others more effectively.
•          We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
•          We believe in and eagerly await the pre-tribulation rapture of the Church.  We believe in a literal Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ with His              saints to rule and reign over the earth.
•          We believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman in a lifetime commitment to each other. We believe marriage reflects            the relationship between the Lord Jesus Christ and His Church and provides for procreation and is the only basis for any form of sexual expression.          We believe any intimate sexual activity outside of marriage is sin (1 Thess 4:3).
